Commander of the Counter-Terrorism Special Force (NOPO)

Mohsen Ebrahimi is the Commander of Iran’s Counter-Terrorism Special Force (NOPO), an entity listed by the Union. NOPO is a subdivision of the Special Units of Iran’s Law Enforcement Forces (LEF). NOPO is a highly trained specialised unit often deployed to dissolve protests. NOPO has used excessive violence and lethal force against unarmed protestors, including women and children. Its human rights violations have been documented throughout various protests, including the nationwide protests in Iran that began in December 2025. Mohsen Ebrahimi is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran.
